Lord Bluestripe the Wild

Played by Bluestripe the Wild

Age:  49

Gender: Male

Species:  European Badger

Appearance: As is fitting for his namesake, Bluestripe is a creature with a very fierce appearance. He is most easily recognized by the blue stripe that runs down the middle of his face as opposed to the white stripe most badgers have after being branded with blue paint to signify his status as a slave while in captivity under Panthera Longclaws. Bluestripe is also quite large, even for a male badger. As a slave of Panthera Longclaws, he was given tattoos all over his body in addition to scars from numerous lashings and has only earned more scars with each passing battle. In his middle age, his tattoos have become much more faded and his fur is scattered with more grays and whites.

Clothing: He simply wears a dark green sleeveless tunic, a thick brown leather belt with a oval golden buckle around his waist, and a leather strap that crosses his torso with the sheath for the greatsword attached to his back.

Weaponry: While skilled with a number of weapons from sword, mace, axe, and many others from seasons of fighting, Bluestripe prefers to use his reliable greatsword, war hammer, and ball and chain.

Personality: Bluestripe has a strong sense of justice with an equal sense of loyalty and courage. Bluestripe is a rather extroverted beast and is a friendly, caring beast who will defend his friends even if it costs him his life. However, in spite of his moniker, he can be gentle when he is not in the midst of battle, in which case he will go into a severe state of Bloodwrath. Bluestripe is usually level-headed, but can become impatient and impulsive at times, especially when dealing with vermin or evil creatures. However, his greatest weakness is his bias against all vermin, always suspecting that they are evil and up to no good due to his background with them. This has also led him to be a bit overprotective of those who are closest to him. Underneath his noble exterior lies a darkness that rarely emerges. The bitterness and animosity Bluestripe developed towards the vermin that held him captive has festered over time to the point that it has become a deep-seated hatred that manifests itself in the form of Bloodwrath. When under the influence of Bloodwrath, Bluestripe vents his fury in the form of brutality and violence towards his foes. However, after he defeated Panthera and his forces with the help of his allies, a great deal of his inner rage had been mitigated and, while still a rather strong-willed and wild creature, his personality mellowed significantly and he became much more tranquil, mature, and patient as he grew older.

Backstory: Bluestripe was born in Mossflower Woods and lived with both parents until one day when he was only three seasons old when his mother was slain and was taken captive by the parol of vermin soldiers who served he wildcat Panthera Longclaws. Bluestripe served the wildcat for sixteen seasons until one night, in a fit of Bloodwrath, he broke free, with the help of some Guosim shrews. After rallying together many woodlanders, Bluestripe managed to defeat Panthera Longclaws and his horde before settling down as the new Badger Lord of Salamandastron. He bas ruled Salamandastron for seasons upon seasons with the counsel of his mate Athena and many a loyal and wise Long Patrol officers and

Affiliation: The Long Patrol
